Extradition: UK Law and Practice (Extradition Law Committee Report)

Debate between Lord Keen of Elie and Lord Empey

Wednesday 16th September 2015 Grand Committee

[Lord Empey]

My Lords, before the Minister sits down, could he update us on the Polish situation, which was producing such a vast number of cases at the time we were investigating?

[Lord Keen of Elie]

I am aware that, according to the statistics over the past five years, a very large proportion of European arrest warrant requests—in excess of 30%—did emanate from Poland. I will write to the noble Lord with updated figures, as I do not have them to hand at present.
